Basic Information on dogs of differing ages

Puppies 8 weeks to 6 months

When a puppy comes home for the first time, it is a whole new world for it; this causes a lot of stress in the beginning. It's a good idea to call a trainer in as soon as possible. The young dog has to learn what good habits are.

Housebreaking: Every dog living in a family has to learn clean habits as soon as they come into the house. We can help you achieve that.

Chewing and Jumping: Behaviors that a young dog has to learn are wrong as soon as they come home, or soon after.

Obedience: Young puppies have to learn proper behaviors, and the best time to achieve that is as soon as possible. Training is being done most of the time motivationally, with food, toys, and lots of praise.

6 months to a year

An older puppy that did not have the earlier training and is being started at 6 months of age will still use motivational training for the learning process, depending on the dogs maturity level. Some dogs can go to off leash training.

1 year and up

Most dogs after 1 year are mature enough to handle the more advanced type of training, which entails off leash training.

We can help you achieve success with your dog with humane and compassionate training methods. We train the dog to a level that suits your family needs. For those clients that want to do other types of training (competition show handling, Schutzhund, agility, etc), we are able to help you out also.

* We can also help you get puppies or adult working bloodline dogs from European bloodlines for Schutzhund police work or personal protection.
